My thoughts… Midnight Lies is the second book in the Wildfire series. As with the first one I loved this book. This is turning out to be a great series. The plot was intriguing and I couldn’t wait to get started. Author Ella Grace is a pseudonym for Christy Reece. I’ve read all of her previous books and loved them. She writes really good romantic suspense series. I loved both Quinn & Samantha. They were […]
This book started out slow for me. It took a while for me to warm up to Lily, but eventually I got there. Like other female characters of JLA’s, Lily was full of some good snark and I think that is what finally got me. Lily is one kick-ass girl who hardly ever gets into a situation that she can’t get herself out of. Though, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a guardian angel looking […]

My thoughts… ZOMG! Loved this story. Hard. This is either the fourth or fifth book by Author Jasinda Wilder that I’ve read and it was incredible. I was drawn in by the synopsis and couldn’t wait to get started reading it. Amazing. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of it. I loved it so much. It held my attention from page one and didn’t let go until the very end. […]
“Faster, Lionheart, you little stud-pony, faster!” If Stardust was a woman (or a man), s/he would be fast, easy, and funny. This book showed up on Amazon’s Best Seller list, so I shrugged and thought “why not”. A few chapters in, I almost ditched it because I felt like I was losing brain cells. Then, I turned on the television and proceeded to watch Hardcore Pawn. I decided that was quite ironic, and went back […]
My thoughts… I loved this one. The synopsis grabbed my attention and I couldn’t wait to start reading. Avery and Bennett are alike in some ways and different in others. Both have had shitty home life’s. Their mothers weren’t very good role models, but what makes them different is how they handle themselves. Where Avery has to be in control of all aspects of her life including sexual partners, Bennett doesn’t have sex. Period. He’s […]

My thoughts… I really enjoyed this one. At first I was a little mad though. I did NOT like the hero at all. I found him to be extremely rude. Some of the things he said to the heroine was downright hateful at times. I couldn’t quite figure out why he had such a strong negative reaction to her. I know that later on in the book things are revealed a little bit concerning that, […]
Today, I thought I would focus the author spotlight on Mimi Strong. Erin and I are currently reading Stardust, the first book in the Peaches Monroe series, and we have both overdosed on LOL moments. Hard. Stardust is on the top ten Amazon Bestseller’s list, and with a title like Stardust and a story like Peaches Monroe’s, it’s easy to see why. Here’s a lil’ somethin’, somethin’ about Mimi taken straight from her awesome […]
My thoughts… This is the first one by author Kendall Ryan that I’ve read. For the most part I really liked it. There were a few issues I had with it though. I liked Avery. Although I found her to be a bit naive. She was sort of complex. She’s got a big secret and it takes a while to find out just exactly what it is. When all is revealed I sort of think […]
I discovered this series after finishing Obsidian, by Jennifer Armentrout. I was desperate to chase the first book in the Lux series with something that had romance, tension, and a Sci-Fi edge to it. Not surprisingly, Amazon came to the rescue. ” Your cart is empty, ” Amazon says. “Give it purpose,” Amazon says. So, of course, unable to ignore these desperate pleas to give my cart meaning any longer, I looked at the recommendations […]
Instead of September is for Sequels like most book bloggers do this month, we have decided to dedicate September to books that have the word Stars, or Star in the title. We will be reviewing, previewing, giving away, or author spotlighting books that fit with our September theme. We are alien, Sci-Fi, and outer-space obsessed over here at Mereadalot, and what better way to follow our first annual Aliens Abducting August theme, than with […]
My thoughts… I’ve heard so much about this book. If you’re a romance reader. And obviously you are if you’re visiting my blog. Then you’ve heard about this book. I’ve owned this one for so long. Just never got around to reading it. I’m attending Penned Con 2014 in St. Louis next fall and I thought I’d try to read a least one book by each of the authors that are attending the conference. Samantha […]
FIRE & FLOOD by Victoria Scott Scholastic, February 2014 First Excerpt Reveal I drove across the US of A, left my family without an explanation, and now I’ m either too late or there was never anything here to begin with. F my life. Rearing back, I kick the door as hard as I can. Then I wrap both hands around the door handles and release a noise like a wild banshee as I pull […]
My thoughts… Revealing Us was really, really good. There are a few new characters introduced in this one. A couple women I didn’t like at all for reasons I can’t really talk about because of spoiler issues. I can say that they both have a past history with Chris. There was also a guy named Tristan who I would like to know more about, but I’m not sure if that will happen. There are all […]

I’ m currently writing the second and third novels in this series, which saps most of my brainpower. I live in New England with my husband and our three children, along with our ancient dog and arrogant […]
My thoughts… Where to even begin with this train wreck. I almost DNF’d this book several different times. If it hadn’t been for the actual storyline being “interesting” I probably would have sooner. Finally though I had enough and couldn’t waste anymore time on it. And that’s exactly how I feel. That I not only wasted time on this book but also my money on it. Every other word is a cuss word. I’m not […]
I kept track of my reactions to the book, Shark Out of Water, by Jenn Cooksey as I read. This image pretty much sums up the whole book, and if you’ve read it. You’ll totally get it. I absolutely LOVE this series. I came across Shark Bait when I was scouring through the bowels of Amazon in September of 2012 looking for something, ANYTHING interesting to read. Finally after pages and pages of books…the (original) […]
